San Diego Bankruptcy Law Firm, located in Mission Valley, is proud to announce that it has agreed to offer bankruptcy services to San Diego Veterans free of charge. San Diego Bankruptcy Law Firm has partnered with Thomas Jefferson School of Law Veterans Legal Assistance Clinic. The Veterans Clinic will pre-screen eligible veterans and refer those who qualify to San Diego Bankruptcy Law Firm.

San Diego Bankruptcy Law Firm was founded by Thomas Jefferson School of Law alumni Todd F. Williams and Scott M. Schlegel and is managed by Maureen A. Enmark. “We were looking for a way to give back to our community and veterans have been particularly affected by the downturn in the economy. This is our way of saying thank you for their service,” says bankruptcy attorney -Todd Williams.

The Veterans Clinic provides limited legal assistance, as well as full service legal representation, to the residents and alumni of Veterans Village of San Diego. Thomas Jefferson School of Law students represent the veterans under supervision of the law school faculty. Veterans Village is a highly successful, residential program that provides housing, substance abuse, mental health, and job training services to formerly homeless veterans.

Bankruptcy can help veterans by stopping foreclosure, eliminating debt and protecting assets. “Sometimes filing bankruptcy is all it takes to provide a little breathing room that will help veterans get back on track,” says bankrupcy lawyer -Scott Schlegel.

The Veterans Clinic will pre-screen potential candidates and refer those who qualify to San Diego Bankruptcy Law Firm. According to Steve Berenson, a professor at Thomas Jefferson School of Law, who runs the Veterans Clinic: “we hit our capacity fairly quickly each semester and have to turn away some cases that we might otherwise be able to handle.”

“This is not the first time San Diego Bankruptcy Law Firm has stepped up to help San Diegans in need,” says Maureen Enmark. When Kerry Steigerwalt’s Pacific Law Center closed its doors, San Diego Bankruptcy Law Firm offered to take over cases and charge the client only the remainder of what they owed to Pacific Law Center.
